Seal Hunting In Winter.

Seal hunting on the ice is another
standing source of amusement Dur

er exposes their hiding places. The Es-
kimo. however. has Il way of finding
them put before this. He harnesses q
dog that has been trained for the work
and leads him out to the snow covered
field. where the two walk backward and
forward, making q ziezag course over
the Ice. Probably before long the dog
catches the scent, and then takes his
master straight to the seals house. Un-
der the hard thick crust of tho snow
there is quito a large room. which at the
time OF discovery may or may not be o
cupied; but il occupied. will very soon
be vacant on the arrival OF the hunter.
In either case. the Eskimo a%scertains by
means Of his spear the exact position Of
the hole, and then. placing a little pin
nacie of snow over it awaits the arrival
of his victim. The native becomes
aware of the seals return by hearing .
peculiar blowing noise. and as 0 o rs
this commences he thrusts his spear
down vertically through the snow into
the hole and secures his prey. Some
times when the nov il very deep the
dogs are not able to find the holes. and
then it is that the poor Eskimo has his
hard times. In the spring, snow disap-
pearing from the ice. the seals are e1-
posed to view. Then the hunter takes
another way Of getting at them. First
of all he notices the direction Of the
wind. and then keeping his enemy in it
walks to within four or five hundred
yards of HIM. From there he begins to
crouch down and to advance only when
the seal is not looking. The wary AMI
NAL is in tho habit of throwing up his
head quickly every few seconds and

The Inevitable End.

tons as quotation on quotation ratified

hard to believe. but this boy was .

the Office told me tho story. He came

in expectation of riches. His money
was up for margins, and no vas ':long"
of 100 shares of stock. 1t was Q lucky
venture. His capital was doubled with
in fortnight. Then it doubled again.
He became one of the most conspicuous
dabblers in stocks that traded at the
house where his accounts was carried.
He jumped in quick; he jumped out
quick. 1t wasn't hard to believe that
he was on his way to the position Of .
millionaire. Lots of other customers

they called him. And when the Now

he had something like 5000 to his

him into that. He bought away down
at the bottom price; he sold At tho top.
His original $500 was become forty
times its original size; he had made
$1,000 for every year of his aye. Lucky
lad! So everybody hailed him.
Yesterday he walked out OF Wall
street with never a cent to his name.
He had gone broke all of . sudden.
He had not had the sense to know when
he had enough; he was the pointers
